War is over: Peace in the Lennon family as Yoko, Cynthia, Julian and Sean are pictured together for the first time in years

They fought and bickered for years. But it seems John Lennon's family is now ready to give peace a chance.

The late star's once-estranged sons have made a rare public appearance together, alongside their mothers - his former wives - Cynthia Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Julian Lennon, whose mother was John's first wife Cynthia Powell, was joined by his half brother Sean, the son of the Beatle and Yoko Ono, at the launch of Julian's photography exhibition in New York last week.

It is only the second time since 2007 that the two men have been seen together - and the first time since 1989 that they have been pictured with Yoko, following a long-running feud between the group.

Their relationship deteriorated during the 1990s after Yoko tried to cut Julian out of a multi-million pound settlement from the Lennon estate.

'I unleashed Hell on her. Now I’ve made my peace
with her and put the past on the back-burner,' Julian told The Times in 2009.

Shortly after, the pair reunited during Sean's European music tour, when Julian turned up backstage following a show in Munich.

Arriving at the Morrison Hotel Gallery last week, where Julian has been holding a photography exhibition, he said: 'Things are good between us. Whenever I'm in New York we all get together. Sean even asked me to shoot his album cover - for free, of course.'
